Captain America #01

The relaunch of Captain America title has Steve Rogers back as Cap. The new storyline have nothing to do with the ongoing fear itself event happening in the marvel universe. Written by Ed Brubaker the story more focused into captain america's tale of adventures from the past. In the first few pages, cap reminisces about the world war 2 and how he stopped the nazis. Then fast forward to present he attends the funeral of Peggy, an old colleague from world war 2.

But soon enough the past catches with Steve as same familiar face from during the war shows up and tried to assassinate Nick Fury and Dugan at the funeral. Steve goes after the assassinator but ends up getting blown by the villain. Steve ends up alright and it was later revealed through flashback the assassinator is named Bravo an old acquaintance during the war as he and Steve worked together with Nick Fury and Peggy on a mission in europe. It seems that the mission main person is a boy named Jimmy. His abilities is not revealed here. Back to present Steve sensed that Jimmy is awakened from a coma. As Cap with Nick Fury, Sharon Carter and Dugan went to retrieve Jimmy they were ambushed by hydra and they managed to snatch Jimmy.  These hydra is of course dispatched by this Bravo and is in cahoots with Baron Zemo, another very old villain resurfaces.
There are many unanswered question from this issue alone. More light should be shed in the next issue.
